A folklore-pattern lambswool beanie
The Snow Beanie is knitted in soft ZQ traceable lambswool, its jacquard pattern drawn from Scandinavian folklore for a piece that looks the part as well as keeping the cold out. The pattern is more than decoration, since the jacquard knit gives a denser, warmer fabric, and flatlock seams keep it sitting flat and comfortable with no ridges to press against your forehead. A ribbed folded edge holds it snugly over the ears, and because it is made entirely from wool it is easy to recycle at the end of a long life.

When it comes to iconic Swedish exports, Fjällräven is right up there with IKEA and Volvo.* 'The Arctic Fox' has been in the outdoor gear game since the 60s, but the story really dates back to 1950, when founder Åke Nordin – then 14 years old – took his mum's treadle sewing machine down to the cellar and cobbled together his first rucksack.
Some of Fjällräven's products are instantly recognisable, including the Kånken backpack – originally designed for Swedish schoolkids in the 1970s – and their famous Greenland jacket, first released in 1968. But they also have a knack for combining vintage looks with modern materials and refinements. Products in their Vardag line, for example, were inspired by a deep dive into the brand's old catalogues – and feature the brand's 70s logo instead of the modern one.
Quintessentially Scandi, Fjällräven kit is built tough and dependable for people who live, work and play in the outdoors, day-in, day-out. You're as likely to see their popular Keb trousers on gamekeepers and foresters as you are on hikers and bushcrafters.
But this is a brand that does more than just gear. Åke Nordin was all about the shared experience of the outdoors, and since 2005, thousands of people every year have taken part in their Fjällräven Classic treks – which now operate in seven different countries from Sweden to Korea, including the UK.
